      Verdict

      Glasses Up has been a standing dish here down the years but probably needs a bit further nowadays. Flyawaydream goes beyond a mile for the first time but will likely have come on a bundle for a recent reappearance at Kempton. Charlie Johnston runs two but Ludo's Landing doesn’t look an easy ride and Demilion has rather lost his way. THEME PARK has yet to win on Turf but has been generally taking on better opposition. A Chester third in June has worked out well and he’ll handle any give in the ground. Auld Toon Loon has won two of his last three so can’t be ignored despite another 4lb rise.
